Ekiti APC Lawmakers Ask Court To Jail Fayose by teemanbastos(m): 7:10pm On Apr 25, 2015
The 19 All Progressives Congress lawmakers
in Ekiti State House of Assembly have urged
a Federal High Court, Abuja, to establish a
contempt charge against Governor Ayodele
Fayose for allegedly manipulating its ruling.
They warned that impunity and manipulation
of facts of his impeachment case in the
media won’t save him.

The lawmakers were reacting to media reports
on the ruling of the Federal High Court in
Abuja which refused Fayose and seven
Peoples Democratic Party lawmakers’ request
which sought to bar APC lawmakers from
continuing impeachment process against the
governor.

Special Adviser to the Speaker Adewale
Omirin, Wole Olujobi, said in a statement on
Saturday that the APC lawmakers were
surprised that the governor and his men
could deliberately misrepresent the fact of
the ruling to mislead the public.

“It is incredible that the governor and the
PDP lawmakers could manipulate the press
again to mislead the public that the ruling by
Justice Evoh Chukwu was in their favour.
“While the judge clearly ruled that it could
not stop Fayose’s impeachment without
hearing from the APC lawmakers, the
governor went to town, in a contempt of court
to turn full circle the ruling by the judge,” the
statement explained.

The statement added, “He first raided the
courts and chased the judges under their
tables and subsequently closed the courts.
After that, he closed the House of Assembly
and chased the lawmakers out of town.
“Then it is the turn of the Fourth Estate of
the Realm, the media, in a mindless fraud
and manipulation of the press to have an
upper hand in the face of flagrant trampling
on the Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria,” the statement explained.

“Fayose is now creating for himself a
reputation as an enemy of the state who
within few months killed all democratic
institutions and their supporting structures in
Nigeria in a mindless pursuit of power.”
The statement urged the court to establish a
contempt charge against the governor and
his men for this “thoughtless manipulation
and misrepresentation of the ruling to put the
court in bad light.”

It said the latest was one in the series of
misdemeanors by the governor over which his
supporters had said nothing while always
trying to find fault with APC lawmakers.
Fayose, who reacted through his Chief Press
Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, said he would
not dignify the APC with a response.
He said, “We are not interested in joining
issues with them on pages of newspapers on
the court ruling since we know and everybody
knows the type of character the APC
lawmakers are.
“A dog that will perish will not listen to the
whistle of the hunter.”
